  1. I am currently reading The Help by Kathryn Sockett and on page 65. I would take place of Skeeter because she stands up for what she believes in and tries to help and make things better. She is a nice person and does not want what everyone else wants their life to be. I would be scared to stand up for what is right especially with people who have stong feelings about slavery, but at least she tried to change that.

  2. I am currently reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne and I am only on page 5 because I just started.

    I wouldn't want to take the place of any character in my book. This story is during World War II, when the holocaust was occuring. And Bruno makes a friend on the other side of what he thinks is JUST a fence. However it's really a fence seperating his backyard from a concentration camp holding the jews. His family and him are constantly smelling the bodies being burnt and it really is an awful time for all of them. So I wouldn't take the place of any character in my book.

  3. I just finished the book The Kidnappers, and I am currently looking for a new one, but i cant chose. The author of The Kidnappers is Willo Davis Roberts. If could take the place of somebody in the book I would want to be the Dad of the main character because he's rich and nobody bothers him. The reason I wouldn't want to be anybody else is because two of the main characters get kidnapped and the people who suffer because of that are the mom, the siblings and the friends. I would also like to be the dad because he helps the cause in a positive way. I would reccomend this book to anybody who likes mystery's because it was a very good one.

  6. I have just finished reading The Witches of Worm, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. If I had to take the place of a person in my book, I would have to choose Ben. Ben isn't involved in many parts of the book. He has an easy life, playing his trumpet and riding bikes in spare time. Nothing bad happens to him, and he helps his friend with her demon cat. He saves the cat from dying after it escapes the apartment building, too.

  10. The book I recently finished is Christmas after all by kathryn Lansky. I relly wouldnt want to be anyone in particular in the book since it is in the great depression. If I had to choose I would be the main character. She has a fairly good life for being in the depression.

  14. I am currently reading Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. I am on page 216, and if I had to take a place of one character, it would be Eragon. I chose Eragon because he will probably live through the rest of the book because he is the main character. Also, he can use magic with greater power than normal people. He also has the power of the elves and he rides a dragon, Saphira.

  15. My book is The Lightning Theif, By Rick Riordan page 45. If i had to take place of one character who would i take place of? I would definitely choose Percy as who i would want to be. Being a demi god i think it would be cool to have powers and be immortal. Also he can have the life of the gods and humans.

  16. I am currently reading ShadowFever by Karen Moning. Iam on page 345.

  20. I have currently finished the book The Underdogs by Mike Lupica. If I could take the place of a character it would be Will Tyler. I would take the place of Will Tyler because he is very fast and I would like to be that fast. Also he is on a very good football team.He also has the greatest life because his dad is never home and that would be great.

  26. I am currently reading "Pretty Ugly" by Karyn Langhorne Folan. I am on page 128. There are many characters in my book and the main character is who I would wnat to be. She goes through many hard situations and she gets through them all. The main problem of the book is about how a new nerdy girl is trying out for cheerleading, as well as Jamee. A group of girls start making fun of Angel (nerdy girl) and Jamee does not like that they are doing that. The group of girls start being rude to Jamee because Jamee is being nice. She goes through a lot of confilicts with them and wins at the end.

  27. I just finished reading Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit. If I could take the place of one character in my book, I would take Winnie's place. She is the main character who is a 10 year old little girl who's never really left home. At first, she's very secure and happy just being with her family.Then, one day, she meets Jesse in the forest and he takes her with his family to their home. The Tuck family did this because they wanted to ensure she would keep their secret that they can live forever. I would want to be Winnie because it's so cool she gets to meet really nice family and have new experiences with them. Sometimes, she has doubts because they kidnapped her. Then, she realizes they love her and are just there to help.

  33. My book is Witch & Wizard: The Fire im on page 223. If I could take the place of one character it would be Wisteria, she is smart beautiful and she has magic. The magic of fire. Shes strong and independent and can do anything she sets her mind to. She can even defeat The One Who is The One. Thats a big deal.

  34. I am reading Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. Im currently on page 20.I just started reading the book. In my book I think I would trade places with John Tyree to see how his perpective from his eyes is. Because in the beginning of the story he explains his life and it seemed like he had a hard life.

  38. I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 231.
    I would take place of Madge. i would do this because in the book she doesnt have to play in the hunger games and she doesn't have to go back to the hunger games. She also doesn't starve like most of the other people on district 12. If I was her I would be feeding some of my food to the people who would starve.

  40. I'm currently reading Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech, and I just recently finished the book.

    I would take the place of Jack's mother because she is kind. She enjoys her life despite the fact she's deaf. I also wouldn't want to deal with Bill's rambling, so it would be nice not to hear anything. She's amazing and not afraid to do anything, and she loves Jack, her husband, and Skitter McKitter.

  44. I am currently reading the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and am on page 49. A character in this book I would like to be would probabaly be Madge, the mayors daughter. Even though Madge doesn't have a very big role I would still like to be her because she doesn't have to parcipate in the hunger games. This means that she doesn't have to fight other people from other districts to the death. Also she has one of the best lives of the people in her district.She is the mayors daughter therefore she gets to live in the best house and doesn't starve to death like other poeple in her district.

    @jdennis5 why is he not scared?

    @Snetherland5 is the hunger game books good?

  56. I'm reading American Presidents by David Whitney. If I was a character in my book I would be Abraham Lincoln because he stoped slaverey. But it is sad how he died. He had a fun life and is strange but he is my favorite president. I like how he was determined to change America.

  60. The book I just finished reading was called Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. The book was 528 pages. I would take the place of Calla. The reason why I would take her place is because she is the main character. She is the alpha wolf of her pack, the Nightshades. She is assigned to marry the alpha wolf of the Bane pack, but she falls in love with a human named Shay. Calla has to fight against the Keepers, which are magical witcches. I would be Calla because she get to go on a dangerous adventure to defeat the Keepers and save her friends from them. I think it would be a lot of fun.

  66. If I were to take the place of one of the characters some from my book, i would have to pick the Martians. I would pick them because in short, its better to be on the winning side. As an added plus,They have flying saucers and three legged tanks. Other than that though, i dont have any other reasons mostly cause they die due to exposure to earht bacteria.

  67. I am just finished reading The Help by Kathryn Sockett on page 322. I would want to be Miss Celia because she is a very nice white women who is very nice to her maid. She isn't like anyone else, she doesnt treat Minny bad and is very rich. I would love to spend my life in the house just laying around, and just like to learn how to cook. Miss Celia is very lively and is the best character to be if i was to pick.

  75. I am reading A Dance with Dragons by George R. R. Martin on page 331.
    I would take Jon Sonw's place. I would choose him because though he lives on a wall of ice, he gets to control five forts along the north. He is very brave and he tries to do what is right to rebuild the Night's Watch. Jon Snow has always been one of my favorite characters and I know he will make the right choice in the end.

  77. I am reading Johny Tremain by Esther Forbes. I am on page 46. If I had to take the place of one character in my book it would be Johnny.

  79. I am about to start reading a book about Michael Phelps and i am on page 1. There is only one character in my book is michael phelps so i would take the place of him. But i would take the place of him because he had a lot of fame and money and won a lot of medals. And he was in the olypics and i think it would be fun to be in the olypics. He also has a lot of fans and fame and it would be awesome to have all that.

  81. I am reading the Sherlockian. I am on page 50 and it is by Graham Moore. I would be Arthur Conan Doyle because I would like to know what one of the greatest authors in history was thinking. Come on who wouldn't want to be a famous writer. Yet he does kind of seem kind of crazy.

She's strong and listens to her instincts.

  92. I am currently reading The Rangers Apprentice Halts Peril by John Flanagan. I am currently around page 205. If I could take the place of a character in my book I would choose Will. I would choose Will because he is riding away to get a doctor to save Halt's life. I would like to be Will because I would feel better knowing I was getting the doctor and knowing I was doing something helpful. Instead of watching over Halt while Will was gone.

  97. The book I am reading is called the Red Scarf Girl.The author is Ji Li Jiang. I would take the place of Ji-Li Jiang a twelve year old girl. She is a smart and kind girl and she has a shining future in Chairman Mao's New China.I would be scared to be in her place because she is going through a hard time. Her family was humiliated and riduculed. Plus the time period was difficult and she was brave,which is a quality i wish i had.

  98. The book i am reading is ron howard. I am on page like 20 becasue i just started it. I would be R on Howard becasue he is the only chacter in my book. It is a good book about Ron Howard. It brings out the goods hes done.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I am currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I'm on page 383. I would take the place of Peeta because I could take care of Katniss. Katniss loves Peta and if I took his place then I could be sure that she makes it back to him. There has to be only one victor so I would do everything in my power to keep her alive and well. Katniss and Peeta were going to get married and I think they would make a great couple if she survives the Quarter Quell.

  102. So the book i am reading is the hunger game by suzanne collins. if i coould take the place of a character it would be the girl katnis '''BUT I WOULD BE A BOY'''. THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE I LOVE COMPETITIVE THINGS AND WINNING THEM. I also would take that place because i am caring and protective of my little sisters and if i know that they are weaker then i would absolutely help them and volunteer my self to help them.

  114. I am currently reading Wolf Rider by Avi Anderson. I am currently on page 30. I would take the place of the main character's father because throughout the course of the book, he is the only one who nothing has happened to. Throughout all the killing, fighting and terror of this book, Andrew (the main characters)'s father has been at home without injury. Also, Andrew's father gets the most sleep than anyone.

  115. bferguson2, that's a good reason not to choose a character

  116. The book I am reading is called Mercy on These Teenage Chimps. I am on page 87. The author is Gary Soto. If I had to take the place of one of the characters in my book I would take the place of Joey. I would try to come up with a solution to help both of us though our changes. I would also make shore neither one of us has any bananas.

  119. I'm reading Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I'm on page 100. If I had to take the place of one character in this book of course i would take place of the main character Katniss Everdeen. She can protect not ohly herself, but her little sister and mother. She saw death, she lives in hard and difficult times she doesn't really know what is happinies. And that's why Katniss is so strong.

  122. I have just finished reading Dark Life by Kat Falls. If I could take the place of a character in the book I would choose Gemma. I would choose her because she came down from the topside determined to find her brother and she is very brave,curious,and adventurous. For example, after she learned that her brother was an evil outlaw she still wanted to live with him on the ship. This book was a good book and I enjoyed it.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Abeatty5, I agree it was a very adventurous book. What do you think was the most exciting part in the book? I thought it was when Doc used up their air supply and Ty had to call dolphins to escort them to the surface, before they lost to much air.

  124. Kflanagan6, that sounds like an interesting book, I might read it next.

  125. I am currently on page 200 of The Tinkerer’s Daughter, by Jamie Sedgwick. There are many characters that are in tight situations, so I don’t know who I would want to be. But if I had to, I would want to be Breeze, the main character. She “talks” to the trees, she doesn’t have to go to school, and she explores new things everyday with Tinker. I mean, I would love to have no responsibilities and create new inventions!

    ReplyDelete

    I definitely agree with you! I would love to be Skeeter, because she’s writing a story for a good cause.

  132. My book is Farewell To Manzanar. It is written by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston. I am currently on page 40 of my book. If I were to take place with one of the characters in my book it would be woody. I chose him because of his leadership and loyalty to the U.S. I also chose him because he is in the U.S army.

  133. I'm reading Titanic Crossing by Barbra Williams and I'm on page fifty eight. If I could take the place of one of the characters right now, I would choose Albert Trask not because he is the main character, but because of his personality. Based on what I know happened to the Titanic, I feel that Albert will fight his hardest to get himself and his family to safety. He has a strong will and a want to get back to Washington. He also has a good heart, he's not hateful and he cares for his family, which I admire.

  134. anichols2, I would take the place of Skeeter, too. Even though she could be outcasted by her 'friends', she still tries her hardest for what's right.

  135. sbouge2, It sounds like Winnie would be an ideal character to take the place of, but not if she gets kidnapped. I mean, she can't live forever like them, but they kidnap her?

  136. I am currently reading Iron Thunder by, Avi. I am on page 8. I would take the place of a boy named Tom Carroll. I would take his place because I have always wanted to live in a war time period (the book takes place during the civil war). Another reason I would want to be him is because kids in his time period had a lot more freedom than they do today. For example a ten year old kid could get a job in the city.

  139. I am reading In Odd We Trust by Dean Koontz. I am on page 15. If I could take the place of one character in the book it would be the main character Odd Thomas. The reason I would choose him is because he has an eventful life compared to mine. One way his life is more eventful is he can see dead people. One of the famous dead people he sees is Elvis.

  140. I am currently reading Chicken Boy by Frances O'roark Dowell.I am on page 13. I would take the place of Tobin because he is a quiet and shy person and that's how I am. His family is crzy and it reminds me of how my family is. He doesn't seem like a mean person or judgmental. I really like his personality really.

  141. Astine2, the title of your book seems weird. I may want to read it.

  142. Twilson2, I have seen the movie for your book and I have absolutely loved it. I hope you are enjoying your book because it's worth the read.

  143. I am reading Gregor and the Code of Claw by Suzanne Collins and am on page 289. In my book, all of the characters are having a pretty rough time. Gregor, the main character, has to kill the Bane, also ending his life; and he knows it. Also, Luxa has had a very rough life living in the Underland, having her parents killed by rats, her cousins betrayal, and living in constant war. Needless to say everyone else isn't having a good time. I do not think I would want to take the place of any of the characters, but if I had to choose, I think it would be a little kid Hazard. Hazard is Luxa's other cousin. He was put in Luxa's charge when his father was killed in the jungle. He can speak in many languages and is very kind and caring.

  144. JFox5, The Hunger Games series is the best book series I have ever read! I think Madge would be a good choice.

  146. I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K Rowling,and I'm on page 104. If I were to take the place of anybody in my book, I would definitely want to take the place of Hermione. I would want to take the place of Hermione because she is the smartest witch in most likely all of Hogwarts. Also, her two best friends are Harry and Ron. Hermione always knows what she's doing and is the main reason that Harry and Ron were able to solve many mysteries.

  147. Astine2, Ben's friend has a demon cat? What exactly was your book about?

    ReplyDelete
  148. NPegg2, I can understand why you would want to be in that position. From what you described the person staying back with the person that needed the doctor would probably feel helpless the whole time while with the person who needed help.

  149. I'm currently reading Warriors: Bluestar's Prophecy by Erin Hunter. I'm on page 250. IF I were to take the place of any of the characters in my book it would probably be Pinestar the leader of thunder clan. I want to be him because of course that hes a leader. He also takes charge of the clan by any situation may come to him.

  154. I am currently reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I am on page 15. The author of this book is Jeff Kinney. If I could be someone in this book I would be Greg. I would be him because he has a very fun life, even though he is bullied by him brother.

  157. I'm reading max by James Patterson and I'm on page 55. If I could take the place of any character in my book it would be Angel. I would choose Angel because she is a mind reader, which is really cool. Also she can breathe under water who wouldn't want to do that. She can talk to fish, all that is really cool and the coolest thing is she has wings. That is why I would want to be Angel from my book, she is 6 and really awesome.
